Overview: Most of the measurement systems were not designed for leaders. In simpler times, the dynamics of business were easier to comprehend. But now the businesses are so complex and change so rapidly that a gut feel for what is important is extraordinarily difficult to develop and impossible to maintain. An organization's measurement system should be able to reveal the sources of performance inadequacies. Yet few measurement systems do so. These systems developed as department managers were called upon to improve the performance of their various domains. To make them connect; an organization needs to create a formal, structured, and quantified model of the enterprise -- the kind that scientists and engineers use to describe physical systems. Such a model connects an organization's overarching goals with its controllable activities. Thus, using models as a basis for measuring is an excellent way to keep up with changes in the marketplace in a disciplined fashion. It is to be expected that models will be revised and retooled over time as condition change.
